Hi, 

I think you messed up with the configuration of the terminal, since
it's wrong it nicely crash without to say nothing (one of the nicest
things of the GUI), since the user is supposed to know nothing.

You coud try to individuate the exact conf files for the terminal
you're using (gnome-terminal I suppose), check in some directory like
~/.gnome or ~/.gnome2 or maybe ~/.config, maybe someone in this list
can help, then delete them and the application should restore its
default setting on the next start.

HTH, regards.
